CNIMA rinde homenaje a Louis Corchia - Franciaby Nathalie Boucheix, Director CNIMA J.Mornet |

 Vídeo: Menzo Gatte, de 14 años, interpreta "Roulotte" de Louis Corchia, en Castelfidardo en 2019La semana pasada, informamos sobre la triste muerte de Louis Corchia de Covid-19 y mostramos dos videos. La escuela internacional de acordeón CNIMA, con sede en el corazón de Francia, rinde homenaje a Louis Corchia. Nathalie Boucheix, cofundadora y directora de la escuela, recuerda con cariño todos los conciertos que dio con su amigo Louis Corchia. "Estoy profundamente entristecido por la pérdida de Loulou. Era un músico extraordinario, respetado y apreciado por todos. Leal, humilde, tranquilo. ¡Era verdaderamente un hombre excepcional! Un modelo a seguir para todos. Estoy realmente conmovido por su muerte debido a la pandemia de Covid-19. Él confió en mí durante tantos años invitándome regularmente a tocar en sus muchas galas y conciertos entre los mejores. Le debo mucho y lo recordaré para siempre, en lo profundo de mi corazón. Lo extrañaremos mucho. ¡El mundo del acordeón está de luto por la pérdida de un 'grand monsieur'! Adiós Loulou y GRACIAS. Siempre estarás a nuestro lado ". Jacques Mornet, fundador de la escuela CNIMA agrega: "Un gran hombre nos acaba de dejar. Era un artista completo, un gran músico (segundo en la Coupe Mondiale 1951 y ganador del primer Trophée Mondial en 1951 en Londres) que se ganó el orgullo de su padre Primo, también un talento para el acordeón que casi se transmitió genéticamente a su hijo. Su amabilidad y su honestidad musical fueron famosas. Amaba la vida y supo compartir su alegría y buen humor. Todos los estudiantes del CNIMA y la directora de la escuela Nathalie Boucheix, se unen a mí para dar nuestro más sentido pésame a su esposa Jeanine y a todos los miembros de su familia. Hemos elegido a Menzo Gatte, uno de nuestros alumnos más jóvenes, para rendirle un merecido homenaje a través de la interpretación de su "hit" (como él mismo diría) "la Roulotte". Adiós amigo nuestro. En el paraíso de los ángeles, allá arriba ... alégrate de haber inspirado a esta joven generación que te hizo sentir tan orgulloso ". |

 Imagen de arriba: Christine Johnstone (izquierda), Kevin Friedrich (centro) y Linda Litt (derecha).El embajador de la CIA, Kevin Friedrich, está aprovechando al máximo su prolongada estadía en Nueva Zelanda mientras está fuera de su hogar en Nueva York, esta vez regresando a la escuela donde asistió y comenzó las lecciones de acordeón, la Escuela Primaria Dargaville. Dado que los estudiantes habían estudiado Italia recientemente, fue una oportunidad perfecta para presentar un programa educativo sobre el acordeón y su fuerte conexión italiana. Combinando música, movimiento y canto, el programa mostró la historia, la construcción y la música del acordeón y permitió la participación de los entusiastas jóvenes estudiantes de entre 9 y 10 años. Durante los cinco conciertos, aproximadamente 150 jóvenes estudiantes disfrutaron de música de Disney, Star Wars y The Muppet Movies, música folclórica, piezas novedosas y música tradicional maorí de Nueva Zelanda. Asistieron a Kevin la acordeonista Christine Johnstone, editora de AWW News y directora de la Orquesta de Acordeón de North Shore Music Makers (Auckland, Nueva Zelanda) y Linda Emmett Litt, (percusión y timbales), la hija de Doreen Emmett, quien le enseñó a Kevin el acordeón en el Dargaville. Escuela primaria en la década de 1970. Los conciertos se reanudarán en octubre cuando comience el nuevo período escolar con los próximos conciertos que se presentarán a los sindicatos intermedios y juveniles en la escuela primaria de Dargaville.

 Alessandro Mugnoz now has a youtube channel. The idea is to tell musical "stories", through various experiences of about forty years. Enjoy this historical recording/video.Felice Fugazza's "Scherzo" (1922-2007), published in 1953 by Farfisa (later Bérben) editions, is one of the first significant Italian compositions dedicated to an accordion ensemble. The author, a truly multifaceted musician (multi-instrumentalist, teacher, composer, arranger, publicist, designer), was one of the fundamental figures for the affirmation and enhancement of the accordion instrument. The present was most likely not our best interpretation, but it is certainly the only one left to testify the ensemble's activity in the early 1980s. The recording, now historical, was made in Potenza Picena (MC) in the summer of 1983; when the group recorded an entire concert / record program in a single session, practically live. Later it was included in the CD "Accordiones in concert", distributed by Prendinota editions. Performers: Alessandro Mugnoz, 1st accordion Miriam Mugnoz, 2nd accordion Andrea Carnevalini, 3rd accordion Fabrizio Sbacco, 4th accordion Edgardo Mugnoz, bass accordion |
